Grandpapa Surf

I am brand new to the category of Grandfather.
It's a boy!!!He is absolutely adorable. I promise to post a pic soon.
I thought I would feel older when he got here but it seems I am experiencing the opposite.
I'm glad to be a 42 year old grandfather.
All three of my kids are out of high school now and I'm young enough to really enjoy watching the grandkids grow up.

Work Work Work

I was off a few days last week and the family and I went on a mini-vacation to Destin. It was a nice break and it's always great to get to spend time with Mrs. Surf and the little Surflings. Of course the little Surflings aren't so little any more so I especially cherish the vacations we get to take with them now. They are all growing up and sprouting roots of their own.

I have another vacation coming up in about three weeks. I'm going to Oklahoma with a friend to meet up with several friends from all over the globe.

My sister just had surgery a day or two ago and is recovering and doing well. My prayers and best wishes go out to her and her family. Her daughter recently had surgery as well. They are moving down to my neck of the woods very soon. It will be nice to have some more family here in town again.

My gang at work is finishing up a major project and it's coming together nicely. Some of the guys and gals have really stepped up and pitched in above and beyond what is required. It's great to help manage a group of folks that take pride in what they do.

My diet is still going well. I need to exercise more than I am, but I am determined to continue to get in great shape so it will come with time and effort. I am feeling much more energetic than I did six months ago and the weight I have lost so far is gone for good.

My friend Alex Baba who is one of Shea's (bthecloser69) fighters was just listed by the WBC rankings commisssion at #18 bantamweight in the world. Way to go!!!!

Here Comes The Judge

I have been asked to be a judge for a karaoke contest. There are some extraordinarily talented contestants and we have had a few guest celebrities of sorts show up to hear and do some singing afterwards. This week it was a member of KC and the Sunshine band. He sang "Boogie Shoes" which he also wrote. His sister is Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy, the lead singer for Mother's Finest. It is rumoured that she will be with us next week. I am a HUGE fan of hers and I really hope I get the chance to meet her.
Sometimes I feel a little bit like Forrest Gump with all the different celebrities I have met or known over the years. :)

Baby Shower

Mrs. Surf is hosting a baby shower today for our soon-to-be-here grandson. I've been helping her clean house all morning. It was nice to be working together around the house. It seems lately our schedules have taken us in different directions too often. We don't have any plans tomorrow so I think I'm going to take her to lunch and a movie.
